Data, Analysis, Planning for Policy Makers and Fundraisers

Civicus Consulting Group

We help nonprofit and government leaders succeed.

Nonprofit and government leaders know that sometimes help from outside, disaffected experts is what's needed most. Civicus Consulting Group has the experience and tools to help you cut through the clutter to gather data, analyze and assess communities, organizations, and donors, and make the best decisions possible.

Our three core products—DonorScan®, OrgScan, and CommunityScan—provide the data you need to achieve your strategic goals through sound data and analysis.

CommunityScan includes housing needs assessments, analysis of impediments to fair housing choice, community needs assessments, and custom community research.

DonorScan brings clarity to your donor cultivation and solicitation efforts by identifying life values, psychographic elements, demographics, and other critical information to better understand your best donors and target potential donors.

OrgScan provides nonprofit and government agencies with thorough, detailed data to understand your organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and alignment with your mission. It also assesses risk. Our customized version of OrgScan meets the needs of Community Action Agencies and other CSGB eligible entities meet the requirement for self assessments every two years.

Our Services

CommunityScan

CommunityScan services include community needs assessments, housing studies (including analyses of impediments to fair housing choice, market analyses, and other HUD-required studies), public perception, and other research. Working with our clients, we define research objectives, develop research instruments, gather and analyze data, and report results clearly. CommunityScan clients include United Ways, housing authorities, HOME consortia, Community Action Agencies and other eligible entities, city and county planning departments, and others.

DonorScan

Through our proprietary, data-driven methods and process, we identify the core life values, experiential psychographics, and underlying ethos of your best donors so every dollar you spend on fund development is both efficient and effective. Our statistics-centered quantitative insights are combined with adroit qualitative coding and analysis to identify donor personas that are most likely to join your ranks and lift your donor base to new levels.

OrgScan

OrgScan is our proprietary tool that measures organizational health and prescribes possible solutions for improved efficiencies. Symptoms of misaligned and unhealthy agencies include lower-than-expected performance, unnecessary processes, obsolete programs, ineffective initiatives, and low morale. But OrgScan is not just for ailing entities—it also helps strong organizations become stronger. Many Community Action Agencies and eligible entities utilize OrgScan to fulfill their CSBG-required biennial Organizational Standards and Risk Assessment.
